I was thinking maybe Wexler or variety vista would have something but they don't. Checking PCGS coin pics for the FS 401 and FS 402 I am not...
Thanks! The luster and color on the reverse really is nice.
I will look for that. Edit: not seeing any clash marks on the reverse from the eagle to the bell on my coin.
Hadn't thought of the original board mint set toning but that is probably it!
It's at the beginning of the section on Franklin half dollars. It shows pictures of all the years of "bugs bunny" clashes. 53 D Edit: I have the...

I got this over the weekend and posted pictures earlier in the new acquisitions thread. I really like the burnt orange and red toning on the...

To the 1965 LMC, specifically on the reverse but there is something going on in the obverse fields as well.

A more cynical person might think that the TPG knew the coin was worth hundreds but insured for $25 so substituted a damaged coin and gave them...
I found a work around, don't use the credit card you have on file, even if all the numbers are good and not expired. Add a new card and the...
Haha. The mint just opened for business on the 2021 Kennedy half dollar rolls and bags at noon eastern. I just logged in put the rolls in by bag...
